Hi DIYers
I have purchased a kitchen from DIY kitchens and thought I'd give installation a go .
Looking for some advice where walls are not 90 degrees and how to deal with the base units / worktop.
1. L shape kitchen running along two walls.
2. Base units are standard dept at 560mm with service void.
2. Corner unit is 900mm by 900mm so there is no need for a corner post with this unit because the doors create the 90 degree return. This unit fits perfectly in to corner.
3. Wall A has a run of base units 4m long and all are square to each other and the wall.
4. Wall B has a 3m run of base units, however the wall is not 90 degrees to wall A over the length (out by 20mm with the angle being acute and less than 90).
My questions is do I keep the corner unit flush and square to the wall and over the run scribe the base units to the wall / remove some of the wall? (This is what I think is correct).
Or shim the corner unit out off the wall by 20mm so the run finishes flush again the wall?
I'm using 600mm worktop with upstand which I'm not fitting, so I don't think I can shim the unit.
So which is correct, adjust in the units or on the worktop?
